Scenic Highway

On Tuesday as Barbara and I traveled the Mount Baker Scenic Highway we made a couple of stops along the way. On the way to Mount Baker we stopped at Nooksack Falls on the Nooksack River. This is a nice waterfall, but because it is in a deep and narrow gorge trying to get a good view of the falls is difficult. In addition, the falls gets no direct sunlight so in order to get a decent photo I had to take four minute exposures in most cases.

Along our travels to and from Mount Baker we passed through the town of Lynden, Washington. Now Lynden has a large Dutch population that migrated to Lynden in the 1880’s. The Dutch area of Lynden is beautiful and we could tell that these people care about their community because the area is well taken care of including the residential neighborhoods which appear to be older yet well maintained. So on our way back to our trailer we stopped in Lynden, I took some photos and then we grabbed some ice cream cones from the Daily Scoop at the Newsroom Pub ice cream shop. Yum!
